Food Labeling 1 st period

Why Labeling? New food labels tell us a lot about food. -Don’t make a decision for you, but allow you to make an informed choice. Everyone needs to make healthy informed decisions, especially teenagers. WHY? Teens are still growing, but their “on-the-run” lifestyles prevent them from getting the right amount of nutrients and calories.

Effects of a Poor Diet: Short Term: Anemia- common in teenage girls, caused by a lack of iron, paleness and tired feeling Long Term: Heart disease, Obesity, Cancer: too much fat in the diet and not enough fiber Osteoperosis: not enough calcium in the diet, can cause a humpback appearance and brittle bones.

Remember… Aim for Fitness Build a Healthy Base Choose Sensibly
